Big news! Familiar Dolls is now being sold locally at the Scrap Exchange Artist Market in Durham, NC. My work will also be part of a gallery show this summer (more details to come). Shopping at my online store is temporarily paused to give priority to those things, but check back soon!
Walter – Balloon Animal Dog Rag Doll
$30.00
The very last dog to be made in Doggo Week is Walter! Walter is a quiet dog who likes blankets and watching Purple Rain over and over again. When he’s not admiring all of Prince’s wardrobe, he will sometimes go on a begrudging walk. He was not meant to be a dog but rather a pop star in the early 80s, and he knows it.
Name: Walter
Size: Approximately 12″ tall
Doll Materials: Cotton fabric (new, locally purchased) , scrap polyester felt, thread
Stuffed with: Recycled cotton
Strength: Winner of the 2003 Balloon Animal Making Championship in Modesto, CA
Weakness: Doesn’t own a single pair of bedazzled high heeled shoes
Care Instructions: Do not machine wash. Spot clean when necessary by hand washing only and allowing to air dry.
Cotton dog rag doll. Handmade by me. This dog doll is partially made from upcycled fabric scraps that you helped save from a landfill. All dolls are unique, handcrafted and designed. You may notice some imperfections because sewing is hard, but this helps to add to their one-of-a-kind quality. Thanks for helping to pay my mortgage and feed my cats.

Walter reminds me of my little perfect boy dachshund I lost last year. He’s adorable and perfect and smiles at me from my desk at work making everything feel as though it will be alright. He’s perfect and can’t find the words to truly express how much I love him.
